About Ms. Krause

German - North/South

Herzlichen Grü?e! My name is Jill Krause. I am the German teacher at North High School and at South High School. At NHS we offer five levels of high school German which can help students earn free credits in college through retro credits. I am proud to be a part of the NHS learning community because we strive to provide a rigorous education within a culture that encourages all students to engage in their learning and to be involved in co-curricular and service activities.

I have taught in the Sheboygan Area School District since 1990 and recently have the pleasure of teaching at NHS. I graduated from UW-Madison with a degree in Broadfield Social Studies, with minors in History, Psychology and German. During this time I spent a year studying at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms Universität in Bonn, West Germany. I earned a Master’s Degree in German from the University of Northern Iowa, doing all my course work was in Klagenfurt, Austria. One of the most challenging experiences of my career was being selected for a Fulbright Teacher Exchange and teaching for one year at a Realschule in Erkner, a small town just outside of Berlin, Germany.

I have coordinated direct exchanges of German students coming to Sheboygan and have taken Sheboygan students to Germany. Since being at North, I have taken students to Concordia Language Villages German Camp in Bemidji, Minnesota for an authentic German immersion experience.

I enjoy spicy food, playing sheepshead with friends and working in the community to promote support for public education.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the German Program.
